burping DP's?

Post by allycat »

Hey, thanks for welcoming me.

Sadly, I recently lost a DP to what seemed to be an air bubble, but am still watching for IP's in my DP tank. I never take my puffs out of the water, but I think tragedy occurred last water change, anyway. Has anyone had luck burping a DP? I haven't tried to on any puff before and was too scared of hurting her to try :( SO tiny!
ask: is this suffering necessary or unnecessary?

I think if you just get him into a net & squeeze ever so gently up towards his mouth, the air should come out. Be sure to keep him underwater.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
